i know we've left it late - 7 months too late - but i started to get leah into a routine with bath at half 7, and bottle & bed at 8.
it worked perfect for 2 nights, then the last couple of nights its been a nightmare and i've given up and fetched her down.
she has a bath for 20-30mins, with johnsons bedtime bath in, plays for a lil while then i take her straight into the bedroom to get her dried and dressed, then into bed.
she will fall asleep on her bottle, then as soon as i start to move she wakes up and will scream scream scream until i fetch her down.
I've been trying to tire her out in the afternoon, and so i thought the long bath and bottle would knock her out for the night!
obviously not working because she just screams and theres no way i can leave her screaming until she falls asleep cos it breaks my heart!
what am i doing wrong?
